==Manuals==
LifeRay has many out-of-the-box features, of which the most important ones are the document library, blog, forum ,calendar and wiki. Apart from that it has a very distinct navigation.
===Background reading===
To see a list of all of LifeRay's features, visit [[http://www.liferay.com/web/guest/community/wiki/-/wiki/Main/Out%20of%20The%20Box%20Portlets|The LifeRay portlets]] \\\\Eric de Ruijter2009-10-13T08:19:21Z4. Wiki 1.1https://projects.iisg.nl/web/guest/help;jsessionid=2E1E952C70C20E62A7B4A6344C164B15?p_p_id=36&p_p_lifecycle=0&p_r_p_185834411_nodeId=36603&p_r_p_185834411_title=4.+Wiki
Each workspace has at least one wiki, appropriatly placed under a menu tab called "wiki"
==Structure==
*A wiki consists of a main root page called "FrontPage"
*Child pages can be added under the Frontpage
*And again, for each childpage you can add more child pages
==Add or edit content==
*With "Add child page" you create a new page all together.
==Maintainance==
Each page has a "details" page, where you can select RSS feeds, monitor the page history, revert back to previous selections, move pages to different child pages...
Further more, you can add attachements and comments under page entries without actually having to commit changes to the page in question.

Forum 1.0https://projects.iisg.nl/web/guest/help;jsessionid=2E1E952C70C20E62A7B4A6344C164B15?p_p_id=36&p_p_lifecycle=0&p_r_p_185834411_nodeId=36603&p_r_p_185834411_title=3.+Forum
The forum is a message board. It may hold any number of discussion topics.
To structure the topics somewhat, the forum can be divided into categories and sub-categories. Each category can hold discussion threats.
Basically this is the same as the document library that has folders and subfolders. And just as you for example can add documents into a folder, you can place discussion topics into those categories.
==Creating a new discussion==
So, if there is no suitable category to place your discussion topic in, you could choose to "Add category" and give it a nice name. Otherwise just start the topic by selecting "Post New Thread"

Calendar 1.0https://projects.iisg.nl/web/guest/help;jsessionid=2E1E952C70C20E62A7B4A6344C164B15?p_p_id=36&p_p_lifecycle=0&p_r_p_185834411_nodeId=36603&p_r_p_185834411_title=2.+Calendar
The calendar holds events. It may be named differently on our LifeRay implementation ( Calendar, events, Holiday calendar, etc. ) and persist on different places.
==Locations==
* On the public group website there is a public calendar
* On the public version1 website there is a link to the public calendar
* Each collaboratorive workspace has an internal calendar.
* Every user on LifeRay has a personal calendar, allthough it is put on a public place that is viewable by all.
==Adding events==
#Use "Add event" or the little plus sign on the right-top side of a calendar day.
#fill out the date, title, description, type of event, etc.
#Press Save
==Exporting iCalendar==
An internet calendar export file is a document you can download from the calendar and import into another calendar such as Google, Hotmail, Outlook, etc. The events will then be visible in those calendars. If enabled, you will see an import\export tab on the right side of the calendar.
==Views==
Views are one the menu tabs and used to display the calendar content by dateranges:
*Summary: View the current day and events on that day
*Day
*Week
*Month
*Year
*Events will show you all calendar items
*Export\Import offers ( if enabled ) you the ability to export\import events
